CHICAGO, March 1.-The brief of the de-
fendants in the anarchist case was finished
to-day by Attorney Swett It will be taken
to Ottawa tonight to be filed in the supreme
court to-morrow-the last day allowed by
law In which to put it on record.
The brief makes ninety six printed pages
Lawyer SWEET admits that the defendants, OF
soine df them, haYe been guilty Of .foolishness
Of speech and foolishness In Newspaper writtng;'
but 1t is denied that any OF them have been
legally connected" with the throwing OF the
Haymarket bombs. The brief presents
the evidence against each individual defendant
The chief point made is In regard to the grave
error he claims Judge Garry committed in ad.
mitting what is termed in the brief illegal adj
vice." Under this head is classed Herr Most's
book, the bloody clothing of the murdered 20
liceman, the bombs and Illuminating caps.
the anarchist flags and other insignia con-
fscated by the authorities. To the diabolical
sentences and suggestions read from
Most's books during the trial, Mr.
Swets attributes marnly the con.
yiction Of the defendants. He argues that the
book was not connected legally with defendants
and II for no other reason that its introduction
a. evidence the eight mon should havc new
trial. The brief dwells upon the alleged misap-
plication Of law Of conspiracy In the
trial Mr.. SWEET declares that the bomb
thowtnR was the natural outrgowth OF agitation
having . legitimate object. and that the de-
PENDANTS have not bean proven guilty Of con.
sptracy.

SHE RULED THE ROOsT.

Feeble Rebellion Subdued In Short Order.
Jim Akers was small, tow-headed,,
knock-kneed man, with irregular
teeth, which made his mouth looklike
steel trap twisted out of plumb.
His wife was large, raw boned wom-
an. fully head taller and fifty pounds
heavier than Jim. She had the tenn
per of half-famished wildcat, and no
iarky just "gettin' religion" was ever
half 80 much afraid of the devil as
Jim was of her. He had reason to be.
When she was fairly on the
warpath she breathed chain light
ming and flung cyclones from the tip
of her tongue. Nor did she content
he erseIf with words only, however bit.
ter and furious. Shever often brush
ed the poor little wretch with hick-
ory until he felt as if he had borrowed
his back of q saint fresh from the
gridiron.
One bright, golden, delicious after
noon in the latter part of May, Jim
left the path where he had been hard
at work all day and "snuck cen" to
his cabin by the back way. He pro.
ceeded hastily to doff his everyday
clothes and don his Sunday garments,
casting furtlve glances all the while at
the ck-browed, terrible dame
sitting in the front doorway knitting.
With trembling haste be completed his
preparations, and was shambling out
again, when his wife, previously az
parently obvious of his presence, shot
a fierce glance at him which made him
lump almost out of his shoes and
brought the perspiration out from
every pore.
"Whar' you boun fur?" she asked.
Il lowed wuz gwine down to the
fishfry far n hour or two. Them

"Well, you lowed wrong. You jest
hist off them cloZe, and go back inter
that patch ond finish hoein' them per-
tators. Don't you distress yerself
bout no fish.fries."
'But done tole the boys 1 wuz
gwine to be ther.''
"Well, you tole 'em a lie."
"But Ed. Sykes and Hank Evans is
waitin' fur me now at the crossroads,
and I'd ruther not disappoint 'em."
"Well, I'd ruther you would. Shut
up, now, and do ez you're told"
Jim easped and quaked with fear;
but, for the first time in many years,
he thor oughly realized the tyranny un-
der which he was crushed. His heart
| was set OH going to the fish fry, and in
that feeble, f1utt ttering little organ
faint shadow. dim eidolon of spirit
| became suddenly aroused. He hesi-
| tated a moment, ventured even to re-
turn the gaze of those glowing, wrath
| full eyes, and then started saying:
"Well, I'm a gwine.'

She swooped on him like an owl on

ened with dust and sandy hair and

Ed Sykes and Hank Evans, at the

Jim's cabin had canght fire and that
ne was perishing in the flames. They
rushed in all haste to his assistance,
but as they neared the spot the clat-
ter subsidized, and they heard stern,
feminine voice, which caused them to
halt and keep out of sight, say:
Now I reckon you'll do as yer
tole."
Then they recognized Jim's piping
voice. protesting between convulsive
| sobs:

GENERAL NEWS NOTES.
Lemonade for the COl0nels.

New Haven Comm Special: Gov. Phin-
cas- Lounsbury attended the ball OF the
Blues here, and while he, with the member
of the staff and several Others were i'll the
reireshment room, Sergeon General Fox,
of the staff officers, carelessly stepped to
the table and ladled out for himself glass
OF punch. 1t was as thin and innocent II
punch as the laws OF hospitality
would allow. and the colonel lifted
it to his lips without a thought OF wrong
or impropriety. But the rising glass was
stopped midway on its road to his pareh-
ed lips by hand OF authority, and the
governors solemn voice sounded in his
ear and ears OF all present, to the follow
inig purport:
Col. Fox, it must be clearly understo cd
that no man can be member of my staff
and drink Intoxicating liquors"
The colonel was too surprised and humil-
itated to do any thing but blush and stam-
mer put his glass down and turn away.
Another member of the staff, Gen. Horne,
was rebuked in u like maner.

THE PIANO
For Pure Singing Tone.
LUDDEN & BATES $. NJ. H.

The american Art Journal of New York
thus speaks of Mrs. Cecilia S. p. Cary, of
Rochester, n Y. who is now recognized as
one of the finest Pianists and most success
full Teachers that America has produced;
Mrs. Cary made flying visits TO New
York, receiving valuable instruction from,
S. B. Mills, and drawing inspiration from
those two great tone masters, Thalberg and
Gottschalk. The production of a pure
singing tone had always been a study with
her, and, observing that these two great
pianists uSed only the Chickering Pianos,
she made thorough investigation, which
resulted in her purchasing the first Chick
ering Grand that went into Western New
York. Since that time Mrs. Cary has been
firm and steadfaSt friend of that Piano
Forte, and it is matter of conscience with
her TO advise the use of these instruments
with her class, over 10 of whom possess
Chickering Grands."
